To examine the validness of this method, you can check the results.

Select one of the albums you downloaded and purchased from iTunes at first. Proceed to buy it by following the common routine. It prompts you to enter the “Apple ID” and “Password”. Fill in the blanks and tap on “Buy”. You can see a window like below.

Just feel free to click “Buy” and see what’s going on. iTunes does know that you have purchased the songs and prompts you with warnings in the new window, even if there is no information indicating that you have bought this album before.

Click “Cancel” and scroll down to tap “Check for Available Downloads”. You can see a window which says that all purchases have been downloaded for this account.

Go to search for the album title in your music library. It turns out that all the purchased songs are saved in the library.
